Re: Yellow chromate, whats the secret?
Hey Tom,
Definately give your tank a filter through some filter cloth, sounds like you have a good build up of smutt from the annodes in the bottom (little black bits).
Definately bandage the annodes. Get a cheap close weave polyester business shirt and make up some annode bags, by at least doubling up the material and stitching on a sewing machine into bags that will fit over the annodes. Secure in place with big rubber bands. The more layers the better.
I gold chromate on brightened parts, see my brake parts in my gallery, these were all extremely bright and shiney and within 2 days of chromating the chromate was hard as!
Get a aquarium air pump and make up a bubbler to agitate the solution (thats if I'm reading correctly and you don't already).
This should all help.
Cheers
Mark Smith
